Btw, welcome aboard, it's good to see another WV hunter here, I hunt the southeast corner of the state. You're in a great area to find artifacts, lot of paleo has been found around Parkersburg.
I was at an arrowhead show, and someone said they were used to cover the eyes of the dead. That was the first time I had heard that. Who knows, but they sure are neat.

Larson, you probably saw me post that before on here. I have speculated for years that they may have small effigies of the mounds they created. I have also heard that they may have put over the eyes of the dead during a ceremony, yet I've never heard of any being found in a grave like that.
That is one very nice looking Cone. Very rare artifacts. I have only found 10 in my 45 years of hunting.
